Windows 7 32bit to 64bit
location: 7forums.com - date: December 9, 2012
Hi,
So I got windows 7 Home Premium back in 2009, however I got the 32bit version, and right now im thinking I want to get the 64bit version. However the problem that I face is that I only have a 32bit disc as they did not send me a 64bit version and I got Windows 7 cheaper via the student deals...
Is there a place where I can download Windows 7 Home premium 64bit legit and for free, and will my 32bit key work on 64?? video help | post reply | read more

Windows Update Service Not Running Error
Windows Update cannot currently check for updates because the service is not running a restart may be required
This is an Acer Iconia W500 Windows 7 Pro 32-bit tablet PC. Automatic Windows Updates worked for a while then quit working with the error posted in the subject.
The system is running Symantec Endpoint Protection v 12.1.761.4971 and I have insured that the usual problematic advanced settings of "Enable OS fingerprint masquerading" and "enable stealth mode browsing" are turned off.
I attempted the automatic Windows "fixit" function with no sucess.
I have verified that the required services as outlined in other posts on this same topic are indeed running.

upgrade windows 7 32bit to 64 bit problems
location: 7forums.com - date: September 9, 2012
I wanted to upgrade my windows 7 from 32bit to 64bit, I checked the PC and it said it was suitable to do so. I inserted Disc with upgrade 64 on it and when I tried to reboot a message came up say that it couldn't open the files as it was running 32bit. So I then restored the PC to it's former Vista 32 bit system and in doing so cleaned the drives. (I had backed up my files but not, I'm afraid, my drivers) I then tried to run the 64bit Windows 7 disc and it again said no. So I installed the 32bit thinking that I could upgrade to 64. That won't work either and now I can't connect to the internet to get directly.
So, 1) why won't it read the 64 bit disc?
2) did I lose my drivers and if so how do I get them back.
Help me please as it's drivivideo help | post reply | read more

lenovo g780 with windows 7 32bit?
location: 7forums.com - date: September 24, 2012
hi my 1st thread.
i purchased a lenovo g780 (21823lu) from newegg. when i received it, the performance was slow. i called lenovo tech and he had me put it in safemode to check a few things. we discovered it had windows 7 home premium 32bit instead of 64bit. the computer is full of bloatware. lenovo offered to send the 64bit disc.
i'm turned off with the slowness and now not being 64bit. i have options.
send it back or wait for the 64bit disc from lenovo. with your help i might be able to speed it up. uninstalling the 32bit and reinstalling the 64bit seems scarey. any thoughts would be appreciated.
thank you pothound video help | post reply | read more

How can I increase my usable RAM to 4GB in Windows 7 - 32bit?
location: microsoft.com - date: June 23, 2010
So what this patch (http://www.tarfandestan.com/files/Patch-3-Windows-Vista-and-7.zip) done in my laptop?How it changed my usable RAM from 2.53 Gb to 3.87 Gb?
Is it reliable?I test it and now i can use 3.87 Gb of RAM completely and without any problem!
Hello Farhad,
First off, I would be suspicious of anything that's not on a Microsoft affiliated site. The patch may have increased your usable amount of RAM, or it may just be tweaking the display to make you think it did.
Second, unless you're having an issue where you're actually running out of memory, I wouldn't worry about whether you have 2.53 or 3.87 available. Windows will allocate a specific amount of RAM for your video card (whether Acer says it does or not).&nbvideo help | post reply | read more

Upgrading of Windows 7 32bit to 64bit
location: 7forums.com - date: April 24, 2011
I know that one copy of windows 7 can only activate one computer. I have two, one already with windows 7 32bit installed and one without windows 7. I plan on buying a new one, installing windows 7 on my second computer and upgrading windows 7 to 64bit on the other. If I upgrade, will windows use the old activation key or require me to enter a new one, because that computer came with windows 7 32bit so I don't have the disc. video help | post reply | read more
